Our goals for the mobile version of Broken Age were to deliver a very
polished experience that is optimized for a wide range of different iOS
and Android devices. We quickly realized, however, that iterating on a
mobile application with more than 1 GB of game assets is quite
challenging, since it can take up to 20 minutes to update and reboot an
app after a code or data change. This talk describes in detail how we
reduced the turnaround time on iOS and Android to an average of 40
seconds. The topic of the second part of the presentation is the design
and implementation of our file streaming system that allowed us to
update game assets such as Lua scripts, shaders and effects in real-time
on a mobile device running Broken Age.
